The year 1857 will be memorable for
two of the most heart sickening disasters
recorded in history. The Exerter hola-
caust piles horror on horror. In loss OF life
tits fully equal to the ChatswOrth aeci-
dent. In sickening details it surpasses
anything OF the kind for years. Human
beings were torn limb from limb in the
wild rush OF the mob to escape. 1t re-
mains to be seen whether English law will
initiate American in making shameful
farce of the efforts to bring the culpable
parties to the bar OF Justice.

Ten years ago Ohio county voted sub

Ten wears ago Ohio county voted n sub
serip,ion of $6OO,OO to build the Union
bridge. This was eDjoined, the amount
exceeding the limit allowed by law. But
il showed the popular recognition at that
time of the need of more railroads. If
Wheeling needed them then she needs
them doubly now.
For the last decade there have been at
stated intervals attempts made to push the
Union bridge project to cOnsammatiOn.
So far they have ended in nothing substan-
tial, although the bridge has been planned
and the work on it even begun. But
now, when new roads are an actual neces-
sity to the growth Of the city, and when
Wheeling is to be practically at the mercy
of one road, for there is to be no more rate
cutting between the B. * o. and the
Pennsylvania, significant taet-now IS
the time to push this grand prOject-to
make Wheeling a railroad centre, to boom
the town in earnest.
Itis certain that the B. & D. deal will
leave Wheeling no better, if not worse on,
than before. This Wheeling cannot af
ford. The Union bridge must come
sooner or later, and the sooner the better.

him the other day he made the remark that
the condition of things in the republican
party at the beginning of the canvass was
sufficient to discourage any man from hop
ing to bring out successful issue of the
campaign. In the North at recent state
elections popular majority of 100000 votes
had been cast for the democratic party
against the republicans. In the states of
sylvania, Ohio, Indiana and Michigan there
were democratic governors and democratic
administrations. Wisconsin had shown
signs of wavering, and even Minnesota was
considered by the democrats as ground
where they might successfully pillow. Against
such odds the national committee had only
to rely upon Mr.. Blaine's ability to secure
democratic votes and to reunite the discord
ant elements in the party. The one feature
of the national committee work which was
most praiseworthy was the determined and
successful effort of Mr.. Jones to conduct its
affairs upon business principles and in a
business manner Previous committees had
expended thousands of dollars in lunches
and personal expenses of the members.
Members of Mr.. Jones' executive committee
paid their own expenses. The receipts and
expenditures of the committee were made a
matter of business record and every dollar
was accounted for. When the difficulties
of the situation are considered and the final
results calculated calmly, it reflects no dis
credit, but on the contrary, great credit, on
the head of the national organization. The
misfortunes from which defeat ensued were
scarcely such as could have been averted by
the committee.

A Queer Railroad.


Kiusley and Stevens of the state board of
railroad commissioners are reported to be
frozen up in Vermont. Their present loca-
ton is near that cheerful region known as
the primeval wilderness, which surrounds
the southern base of the Green mountain
range. They are inspecting stretch of
railroad known as the Hoosac Tunnel &
Wilmington, which, while only ten miles in
length, has the distinction of being the only
road in the United States, and possibly in
the world, that has, like a ship at sea, to
carry ballast on its cars, as well as along the
track. 1t was built last year by private
parties in order to bring to the Fltchburg
road the wood pulp used in paper-making.
The projectors bought the land and built
the road out of their own pockets. Where
a farmer refused to sell land the engineers
built the line around his place. Thus the
curves and grades of this road make it ex-
tremey picturesque, if not particularly safe.
Some of the curves are so sharp that the
outer rail has to be so elevated that ballast is
kept on the cars to keep them from capsiz-
ing. This is shifted about a hundred times
by the crew during trip. The road while
in Massachusetts does not run within mile
of any house and is known to similarly
avoid human habitation in Vermont. Never
theless, it had to have charter and be in
spected by the railroad commissioners before
it could be legally run, and this is what
took the aforementioned officers into the
wids of Vermont.

Changes in the Laws.

C"H L. s." of Alburgh, in the Free Press
In 1884 an act was passed raising the rate
per cent of the grand list of what is known
as the state school tax from nine per cent to
twelve per cent, subject to the same pro-
vision in reference to the United States de-
post money. Inquite a number of towns. |
understand, this law has never revealed it.
self, but the tax has been made up under
the old law of nine per cent. 1t would per-
haps be well for such towns to look up the
penalty for such neglect. In 1889 the legis-
lature apportioned the state and county tax
according to the population of the cities and
towns. In 1884 this was changed back to the
grand list basis, and this is to be the basis
for apportioning state and county taxes for
the next two years.
The highway tax is changed from twenty
to fifteen per cent on the grand list and is
to be paid in money, and is to be
expended under the direction of the Sc
lectmen or commissioners. If commission
ers are selected, we have slight hitch in
the law, as act No. 9 provides that any of
the past years tax remaining uncollected
shall be collected in money and expended
under the direction of the selectmen, thus
having two sets of officers to do the work
intended for one. The Office of highway
surveyor is abolished This act takes effect,
| believe, the LIST day of January conse-
quently we have no highway surveyors in
the state. 1t does not provide who shall
have charge of the highway in towns that
have voted to pay their highway tax in la
Dor under the direction of highway survey
ors from January LIST to March LIST, or until
commissioners are elected The selectmen
will doubtless have to attend to this until
commissioners are elected, but would it not
have been better to have continued the Office
of highway surveyor until our next annual
March meeting?
The recent acts in reference to the study
of scientific temperance in our public schools
provides for textbooks upon thi is subject to
be furnished and paid for by the state. But
by previous act the Textbook committee
OF each town were required to enter into a
contract with publishers of such books as
they might select upon this subject to fur
nish such books for five years from 1884
Now can towns avail themselves of this
offer of the state without laying themselves
liable to the publishers of such books as
they have already made contracts with, and
which contracts do not expire until 1889?
In reference to the fish question it is per-
haps needless to say anything, except that
the close season for fishing with hook and
line is changed from June - to June /.
This was done no doubt, in order to ac-
cOmmodate the sporting fraternity who did
not like TO wait so long in the spring to en-
JOY their piscatorial sport. Perhaps they
will not care now, as our legislature has adj
lourned, if make public the information
mat Canada has repealed the law in refer
ence to prohibiting fishing with senes in
Mlsslsquoi bay, and that the fishermen
there can obtain license for seine-fshng as
formerly.

The Best Plan for Most Newspapers.
tFrom the Middlebury Register.


Beginning on the LIST day of April next,
we shall require that all subscriptions to the
Register be paid in advance. On that date
all papers not paid in advance will be dis
continued, and thereafter papers will be
stopped when the time paid for has expired.
We have tried the other plan faithfully, and
are forced to the conclusion that it is not
the right way About one-half of our sub
scrbers do pay in advance The remaining
half,whose subscriptions represent the profit
of the business and a great deal more, pay
only when they have been asked half a
dozen times, and perhaps not then. 1t
costs more than it comes to to collect their
subscriptions. The amounts are small, but
in the aggregate stand for a considerable
sum, which we are entitled to and ought to
have. Most of this money due is in the
hands of responsible persons, and yet it is
out of our control and is of no use to meet
our bills. 1t may be paid sometime, but in
the meanwhile we must let our creditors
suffer or borrow money to pay them and
pay interest on it. Every paper sent out of
an office costs money. The employees of the
Office must be paid weekly, the paper bills
monthly Any one can readily see that
when a subscription runs for year or more
we are lending the subscriber so much cash.
1t is an unbusness-ike way of doing bust
ness, and we are sure that our friends will
see it in that light and cheerfully fall in
with the arrangement, the propriety of
which is so obvious.
